Alec Couros.
Gold Coast, Australia.
Hey Shelley, it's Alec Heros here. I just heard it's your birthday and I wanted to wish you a very happy birthday. We're currently in Gold Coast, Australia. We're beside a golf course at the moment. I'm sure, Dean, your colleague absolutely loves where I am right now. Just wanted to say how much I've really enjoyed getting to know you over the last couple years in my class. Obviously you were just an outstanding student, learned so much from you, and I think you really led the way for a lot of my other students in the class in terms of your writing. And you're pushing forward of a lot of ideas, which I think is really, really important. And it's been amazing to be able to watch you learn and grow and for me to learn from you along the way. So I'm really glad that you were able to continue to blog after the fact as well. So it's been great to sort of get to know you over the last little while. I learn from you every single day about a number of things, but most of all, I think the idea of just being a really good teacher, an amazing teacher, and being able to share that is just such an amazing thing. So I hope you continue to do that. I'm sure you will and I'm really looking forward to learning from you in the future. Anyway, happy birthday from the future. Take care. Bye.
